Fast-forward a couple months later. It’s December and the leaves have all fallen. It’s much colder outside and Christmas is approaching. Sadie was still staying at the Jonas’s home. Sam was still in the hospital, and while her parents took turns coming home, they agreed it was better for her to just stay where she was. Sadie liked it this way. She wasn’t going back and forth but she still saw her mom and dad when they came home for a few days at a time. For the past month, Sadie and Mitchel had been going strong. When he couldn’t be in town, they talked every day on the phone. But every chance he got, which wasn’t often, Mitchel flew in to Chicago to visit Sadie. It took Joe a while to warm up to Mitchel, but he came around.
One day, Joe took Sadie out for Christmas shopping. Big Rob followed behind them incase they got mobbed by fans. Sadie was looking through some things for Nick’s guitar.
“So Sades, you and Mitchel? Still going?” Joe asked as Sadie looked around. She groaned a little out of annoyance.
“Joe, I thought you were over this!”
“I am, I was just wondering.” He looked at her then back at the shelf. “Have you told him about Justin or Taylor? Or any past relationships?”
Sadie scoffed a little. “And tell him how I was caught in drama and I went crazy? No I haven’t.”
“Sades, you didn’t go crazy!”
“Say what you want to make me feel better, Joe, but yeah, I kind of did.”
“Well has he told you about his past… relationships?”
Sadie looked at him. “No, why would he?”
Joe shrugged. “Just wondering.”
“Joe, there’s a reason you were wondering. What is it?”
Joe sighed. “Well, I just know that before you, he had a girlfriend, Gia. And they were together for a really long time. He never mentioned her?” Sadie shook her head. She didn’t want to think of any ex-girlfriend of Mitchel’s. The little she knew, the better, she thought. “I mean do you know how it ended with them or anything?” Joe continued. “That doesn’t interest you?” Sadie avoided eye contact.
“No, Joseph. It does not interest me.” She clenched her jaw. “I don’t care.” Sadie found something for Nick and Kevin and bought them. They walked back to the car together silently, again with Big Rob following.
“You know,” Joe started again. “If it were me, I would want to know how it ended. You know, just so I know there’s nothing they left behind.”
“Joe! Cut it out! I know, okay? I know he’s still with Gia! Just stop it!”
“You, you know? Since when?”
“Since the day Mitchel asked me to be his girlfriend. After I talked to you that night in my room you went downstairs and I heard you and everybody else talking.”
“How did you hear us? You were in your room! Weren’t you?”
Sadie shook her head. “I’m much quieter at sneaking behind corners than you are at whispering. Honestly, Joe, you’re about as discrete as an elephant. You’re loud and I can always hear you coming.” Sadie laughed and Joe smiled.
“So, you know he still has another girlfriend, but you haven’t said anything? Sades, I don’t want to try and over-protect or anything but this will lead you down a bad road. It won’t end well and it’s not healthy.”
Sadie nodded and looked at her hands resting in her lap. “I know. He’s taking me out tonight. I was thinking about bringing it up. But I don’t know.”
“Why wouldn’t you Sades?”
“Joe, Mitchel has been so nice to me. What we have is just right. I don’t want to mess anything up. I mean, I rocked the boat with Justin and Taylor and look where it got me.” She looked up at Joe. “I might need my big brother to comfort me later tonight incase things don’t go well. Will you be around?”
Joe parked the car at a Starbucks and looked at her. He smiled sweetly. “Of course I’ll be around. But I wouldn’t worry, Sades. I’m sure you and Mitchel will be just fine.”
Sadie grinned. “Look who’s finally coming around!”
“Yeah, yeah. Don’t get used to it.” He laughed.
“I know. But it means a lot to me Joe. Thank you.”
Time seemed to fly by again. Sam was finally out of the hospital, and Sadie’s parents were back home. Sadie was going back and forth between her parents’ house and the Jonas’s. She liked it. Since they live just five minutes away from each other it was easy. Valentine’s day was approaching and Sadie hadn’t talked to Mitchel about Gia yet. Most days she didn’t even think about it. Her and Mitchel were still dating and Sadie had never been happier. It was Thursday and Valentine’s Day was coming up on Monday.
Sadie sat at the kitchen table doing her Pre-Calculus homework. Joe sat down at the chair next to her and looked at her silently. She put down her pen and looked up at him.
“Hey Joe.” She said. Joe didn’t say anything. He gently placed her cell phone on her notebook covering the problem she was working on. Sadie sighed and looked at him. She shook her head. “Not today, Joe. I’m not calling him today.”
“Sadie, you said that last week like ten times. You’ve got to do it sometime. Valentine’s Day is on Monday. Not to be mean baby sister but I’d rather you not have a boyfriend than have to share him.”
“I know. I just don’t want to mess up something that is so good.”
“Sades,-“
“I know, Joe.” Sadie took her phone and called Mitchel right there. He picked up on the third ring.
“Well hey there Sadie Jonas!” She heard his voice from the other line and her heart melted.
“Hey Mitch. How are you?”
“I’m great now that I’m talking to you.” He chuckled. “I’m on set right now. What’s up?”
“Listen I won’t keep you long I just had to tell you something.” Sadie took a deep breath. “Mitch, I know about Gia. I have since the first day we started dating.”
“Sades it’s not what you think. I was-“
“Mitchel, it’s okay. It’s exactly what I think. I’ve known everything and I still have really liked you all this time. And even though you’re balancing both of us, I know you liked me at least a little.”
“I do Sadie and it’s not that-“
“Mitchel just listen to me. I’ve been hurt before, pretty badly actually. And sometimes it was my own fault, but this time I can prevent it.”
“Sadie I don’t want to hurt you, I promise! Please just-.”
“You have to decide. I’m sorry, but I can’t keep dating you if you don’t. Valentine’s Day is Monday, Mitchel. Think about it and let me know who you choose. It’s okay if you choose her. But just don’t lie, okay? Have fun on set. Bye Mitchel.”
“No, just wait. I wanted to-“ Mitchel tried to explain but Sadie hung up and her hands were shaking. She sighed and looked at Joe.
“Now what do I do?” she asked. Joe just shrugged.
“Now you wait, and you hope that he realizes how amazing you are.” Joe smiled and gave her a loving hug. “I’m proud of you. You did the right thing.”
The next four days went by slowly and painfully for Sadie. Joe helped her keep her mind off of everything. He was the only one Sadie really talked to about this. Finally, Monday came. Sadie kept her phone in her pocket at school all day to see if Mitchel would call. She was anxious all day and jumped anytime one of her friends texted her. All day there was nothing. Sadie went home after school feeling heartbroken. She walked into the kitchen and sat at the counter next to Kevin.
“Why so sad baby sister?” Kevin asked. “It’s Valentine’s Day!”
Sadie faintly smiled at him. “I’m fine, Kevin.”
“Oh before I forget, Sades.” Nick said. “This came for you.”
Sadie turned around to face Nick, who was holding a dozen red roses. Sadie grinned and took them from him.
“Who is it from?” Kevin asked.
“I don’t know,” Nick said.
“Read the card, Sades.” Joe told her. Sadie grinned as she read the tiny pink card attached to the flowers.
“Roses are red. Violets are blue. I must be crazy, If I didn’t pick you.”
Joe smiled and nodded and Sadie while Nick and Kevin both looked at her with confused stares.
“Who’s it from?” Kevin asked. Sadie just shook her head and smiled.
“My Valentine.”
